Looks like this is scheduled to go on sale in October and it'll be a hardcover! You can pre-order at the Amazon link over on the right, but they don't have any images yet. With that in mind I hope no one cares if I post a couple of samples here to whet your appetite:

Kevin,Excellent news! I have been waiting for this book to come out ever since you first posted a few panels back at the Yahoo group.Is this the last project that has been waiting to be published? I think that with Mignola's, and Wrightson's stories this brings all the "Kevin Nowlan urban legends" to an end :)

I just looked at the amazon.com listing and it is described as a 114 page hardcover. I thought the ManThing story was a 48 page stand alone story...has it been expanded over the years or it some of the material classic reprints?

Great news! Anyway I got ahold of the latest Batman Odyssey issue by Neal Adams and was surprised to see your inks. Would you mind posting some of the pencils and your inks? I'm very curious to compair them. Are you also involved in inking the last issue of this series?

Wow! A must get! I recall seeing pages at Marvel ages and ages ago! I think Terry K had them. Or maybe Harras...? Still, after so long I never thought I'd see it printed! So happy! If I buy one graphic novel this year, it'll be this one!

Wow, I'm a giant-sized fan of Man-Thing, to this is terrific news! Also a Gerber fan, so just wow!

May I say, as someone with a modest (but growing) collection of Man-Thing comics, that your take on Man-Thing is very pleasing. Although I equally appreciate the uber-realism often used for depicting Man-Thing (you know, details down to the edges of leaves and crevices in tree bark), I've long thought that the character's supernatural aspects are well suited to more abstract, stylistic renditions.

It’s the story no one thought existed —Steve Gerber’s final Man-Thing tale! First, in the classic “Song-Cry of the Living Dead Man,” Man-Thing stumbles across a lone man, desperately scribbling down his thoughts in the halls of an abandoned insane asylum. But this man’s inner demons appear in the flesh to torment him — and it’s driving the Man-Thing mad! Will Brian Lazarus succumb to the madness of everyday life? Then, in Gerber’s never-before-seen sequel, what is the mystery behind the “Screenplay of the Living Dead Man”?
